Folding Time sounds so manicured and lovely that it's hard to find fault with its production value. If the album has a problem, it's that it makes a lateral move rather than a forward one.- Resident Advisor

Recorded in one take, fabric 87 captures the peak-time spirit of fabric's Room 2, and showcases exclusive edits from the DJ and remixes of currently boxfresh tracks like "Lolly Pop" by Reset Robot. So it's a shame that the mix runs out of energy before the end, pulling the knockout blow it should have had.- Resident Advisor

Most of The Triad lacks darkness or tension, which results in a lack of depth and contrast.- Resident Advisor

Where his best music was like reading pages from a diary, Rojus can feel like a passionate retelling of memories that were never his.- Resident Advisor

Under The Sun isn't the major departure that it seems on the surface, but rather a pleasant detour through mythical, imagined landscapes.- Resident Advisor

For a debut album from such a young artist, 99.9% is remarkably self-assured. It sets up Celestin as someone carving out his niche.- Resident Advisor

Oh No is an inventive and enjoyable pop record that only falls short of Lanza's own standards.- Resident Advisor

Yoyogi Park is at its best on the tracks where Kersten wanders out of his comfort zone.- Resident Advisor

Konnichiwa isn't perfect, but it mostly accomplishes the goals Skepta set for himself, and is certainly one of the best grime has seen so far.- Resident Advisor

The permanent ache in Blake's voice is one of his most arresting qualities, but it grows tiresome as The Colour In Anything wades through its 76 minutes.- Resident Advisor

Following shaky albums from both Yorke and Radiohead, A Moon Shaped Pool suggests that they were right to keep the faith.- Resident Advisor

For a project of its size and vision, Vol. 1 is remarkably coherent. It's a testament to the label's endurance and vitality that they assembled so many top-notch exclusive tracks from friends both old and new.- Resident Advisor

On the self-produced Will, there's an extraordinary confidence behind Barwick's voice and arrangements.- Resident Advisor

The Ship, his sixth Warp record in seven years, entwines various threads from these albums [Small Craft On A Milk Sea, Lux, and Highlife] into a heady amalgam that stands as his best work for the label to date.- Resident Advisor

This LP has the duo's best music; each track offers something to marvel at. But put them all together and it's like watching the world end 11 times in a row: what at first seems fearsome eventually turns mundane.- Resident Advisor

Honey lacks the coherence of her previous albums, but as a love letter to the rave it's eloquent and sincere.- Resident Advisor

With a relatively small number of building blocks, Acre has built an album that feels varied, showcases a range of emotion and, most importantly, feels whole.- Resident Advisor

The album is overproduced and polished to a fault, often vague and uninteresting. It's the defining characteristic of Become Alive. The individual performances are undeniably full of flavor and complexity, but put together they can overwhelm.- Resident Advisor

For all of its differences, Utility only sounds unnatural in the Kowton discography when it undermines the strengths of the music before it.- Resident Advisor

These short tracks hint at the more compact and engaging album #N/A could've been. But on "#2," the collaborators show they can also pull off long-form.- Resident Advisor

On EARS, Smith emerges as a novel, naturalistic and, yes, pop-savvy voice wielding an instrument known for esoteric experimentalism.- Resident Advisor

Where McRyhew's first full-length approached footwork with playful individualism, this record favours freeform acid and techno structures.- Resident Advisor
